UNPLUG your heat mat until you can get a thermostat or dimmer for it.
You still didn't answer my question: HOW are you measuring your temperatures???
If you are using a stick on gauge? Are you using a probe thermometer? Using a temp gun?
You need to check your temperatures on the hottest surface your animal can touch....... This would be under the substrate.
Your heat mat is probably well over 100+ degrees.
A heat mat used under the enclosure is used for a hot spot and when properly regulated does nothing for ambient temperatures.
